Missing teeth can spoil even the brightest smile. It can knock your confidence. Things you once took for granted, like eating and speaking, can become difficult and stressful.
Whether you’ve recently lost a tooth or have been putting up with an incomplete smile for years, you can get your beautiful, natural smile back. If possible, we’ll even show you how your new teeth could look before treatment begins.
As a pioneer of dental implants, Dr Dunn has been helping people restore their smiles and renew their confidence for more than 25 years. Make today your turn.
Unfortunately, a failed orthodontic treatment affected the roots of our patient's teeth. So much so that many of her natural teeth had to be restored.
Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive prompted a treatment plan consisting of dental implants, a dental bridge for her front teeth, and porcelain veneers on adjacent teeth — for a new balanced smile.
A previously failed endodontic treatment changed the appearance of our patient's front tooth.
Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive directed a treatment plan that included a dental implant to replace the damaged front tooth, and eight porcelain veneers to create a more balanced new smile.
Our patient had a number of missing teeth due to a developmental condition.
Following some orthodontic care, Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of dental implants, dental crowns and dental bridges.
An old dental bridge on some root-treated teeth had left our patient's front teeth looking uneven in both size and shape.
Following Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive, the patient received a replacement implant bridge, some crown lengthening, and new porcelain veneers.
Dr Dunn will evaluate your teeth and gums. The latest 3D imaging technology is used to determine the number of dental implants you need and the best treatment options for you. He also assesses your eligibility for his pioneering Immediate Implant treatment.
Following your consultation, you’ll receive a written plan to approve including treatment costs and a timeline.

Dental implants mimic the natural teeth and tooth roots, making them the closest possible replacement for natural teeth. Yet, as with any surgery, there’s a lot to consider before having dental implant treatment. To help you, we’ve created this downloadable guide, which includes:
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the bone, it supports a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
There are three components to a dental implant: the implant (titanium post), the abutment (connector), and the crown (visible tooth). Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch. Because they integrate with the jawbone, they closely replicate the function and appearance of natural teeth.
The cost for a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth can range from about $4,000 upwards. The price can vary depending on multiple factors including:
During your consultation at Macquarie Street Dental, we’ll discuss all your treatment options and the cost. Some private health insurance policies may cover part of the cost of dental implant surgery. You can also talk to us about our flexible payment options.
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover the cost of dental implants. This is because dental implants are considered an elective cosmetic procedure. If you choose sedation, this will attract a medicare rebate. Additionally, in some cases (for example, if you have significant tooth loss) you may qualify to access your super for dental implants.
– Pre-op
When you’re ready to proceed, the steps are:
During your personal consultation, world-renowned implant expert Dr Dunn will take a 3D scan of your jawbone, tooth impressions, and photos. These are used to inform the size, shape and position of your dental implant, tooth design, and overall treatment plan.
– Step 1 — dental implant placement
The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Sedation is available if preferred. In suitable cases, a temporary tooth may be placed on the same day.
– Step 2 — implant tooth or tooth bridge is placed
After 3-6 months, once your jawbone and gums have healed, it’s time for your permanent implant tooth or tooth bridge. Dr Dunn will ensure that the implant has successfully healed with the bone. He’ll take an impression of the implant, so that your new tooth can be beautifully hand-crafted by a master Australian ceramist. This will be ready in 2-3 weeks.
